from “Le 34 tavole di Robert Rauschenberg per l ́Inferno di Dante”, edited in 1965 by Edizioni Macorini, Milan, based on the 1958-59 originals from the Museum of Modern Art, New York, “Virgil now leads Dante through the nine circles of hell. In the first circle, Limbo, dwell the unbaptized and virtuous pagans. Here Dante encounters the ancient poets, thinkers and philosophers.”
